We booked our trip about 8 mths in advance of the opening date and inadvertantly ended up going two days after WW had opened (we thought it would open earlier in "Spring"). It was pretty messy the way things were handled. An unmarked queue to WW started in Marvel that was off round the waterside path of the buildings. Thankfully we found it by accident. By the time the queue reached JP there were handing out paper "tickets" into WW which we had to continue to queue with. There were some families that attempted to push in the queue, but people behind them called them out to staff who had them removed for not holding paper tickets.
All in all, the queue took over two hours to reach the entrance to WW. Once in, we queued for FJ for two hours and tried our best to look around the packed shops. By that time it was lunch but as there was only one place to eat in WW and the queue for that was massive, we decided to eat outside WW..until we were told by staff that once we left WW we would have to re-join the original two hour queue to get back in, even if we just wanted to get some food, so we had to join the crazy queue for Broomsticks. It was another two hours for Ollivanders and that queue was absolutely boiling. After that we left. Whilst it was great to have experienced it so soon after opening, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been given we spent four hours queueing to ride our first ride, and over an hour queueing to get into the restaurant :yikes:
